M2: The Search for Goblin HQ

[Manzanita]

For what its worth, I'm going to start the rounds up again, at 22. I hadn't commented on Jezibel's being tied up. Assume she is tied per Steve's post. How effectively she's tied you don't yet know. (neither do I.) Some people fired missiles this round. Others discussed their attack.

Nurlan, Ashnar and Rinaldo fire off their weapons at the sahaugins crouching behind the canoe. None of the missiles find flesh. Two more sahaugin hurry up, firing at the party. One heavy crossbow bolt strikes the merchant, a stinging blow to the shoulder which he barely sidesteps. (9 pts dmg) Rinaldo feels partly consoled, however, as the last of the goo becomes brittle and can be shaken off. The other three sahaugin duck down behind the canoe

attachment approximately what the party can see.

Charlarn of Phyrah: Male human cleric 3

For what its worth, I'm going to start the rounds up again, at 22. I hadn't commented on Jezibel's being tied up.

OOC: Sorry. I thought you had.

One heavy crossbow bolt strikes the merchant, a stinging blow to the shoulder which he barely sidesteps. (9 pts dmg)

Charlarn sees Rinaldo flinch when the bolt hits him. "Rinaldo. How are you?" If he says he's fine, Charlarn will try to get to the mouth of the cave along with those who are rushing out. If not, the cleric will get to an adjacent spot to Rinaldo and use his scroll of cure light wounds again.

 

[Velmont]

OOC: I lost track of my HP status...

He looks at his wound for a moment. "That bolt would have take me down some time ago... I've seen better day, that shoulder hurt, but I still feel the rush in my vein." He tells, while reloading. "But it will be hard to take them with bolts. When do you plan to charge? Because they have start without you."

Nurlan thinks for a moment about drawing his longspear and joining the charge, but realizes that it would be better for the front and back groups each to have one person with healing capability. Since Charlarn had expressed his intention to charge to the front, Nurlan stays back and reloads his crossbow.

 

[Erekose13]

Tenebrynn charges! Leaping out to the cave he heads for the canoe trying to make it around the south side.

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Somac: Male Human Barbarian 2

Somac, in a rage, moves around to the south of the canoe with Tenebrynn.



OOC: I'm assuming it will take me more than one move action to get within striking range, but if not, Somac will attack the closest sahuagin after moving.

Charlarn of Phyrah: Male human cleric 3

He looks at his wound for a moment. "That bolt would have take me down some time ago... I've seen better day, that shoulder hurt, but I still feel the rush in my vein." He tells, while reloading. "But it will be hard to take them with bolts. When do you plan to charge? Because they have start without you."

Charlarn says, "Now, it looks like. I think Nurlan can heal you if you need it." He rushes out toward the north end of the canoe by S18. (double move) OOC: He applies his +1 Dodge bonus to AC against S18.

 

[Patlin]

Chain out, Tor follows behind Somac to back him up. He will strike at any targets of oportunity, and try to concentrate his attacks on wounded but still combat capable enemies first.

Round 23/24

With their shouts to encourage them, four heros emerge from the cave and charge the sahaugin entrenched behind the canoe. Charlyn hussles to the beach side, while Tenebryn, Somac and Tor round the corner on the ocean side. Only Tor is able to attack this round. He swings his chains high overhead and brings them down on a sahaugin archer crouching on the other side of the canoe, splattering the wooden sides with black blood (7 points)

Nurlan reloads, and Rinaldo's bolt strikes the side of the canoe with a thump. Irene takes hold of the rope binding Jezibel's hand(?). Ashnar delays, waiting for his moment.

The four who charge notice the beach strewn with carcases, and numerous sahaugin scattered in the surf and by the huts. Two fire crossbows at Somac and Tenebryn as they charge forth. One bolt finds its mark in Tenebrynn's side, his first wound of the day (7 pts) The three behind the canoe who reloaded last round rise and fire off their bolts, one at point blank range against Charlyn, which hits painfully on his chest (6 pts). This gives the cleric a chance to return the favor. He smacks the beast a painful blow to the head (6 pts). The other bolts miss Tor.

HP summary: Irene 13/13, Somac 16/25, Charlyn 13/20, Nurlan 15/15, Ashnar 9/11, Rinaldo 11/23, Tenebrynn 11/18, Tor 20/24

Round 24

Somac, raging, slashes at the nearest sahaugin with his (what? greatsword or glaive?) but only drives his blade into the sand. Charlyn does better, striking again, and sending his opponent tumbling into the sand in a shower of black blood. Tenebrynn also hits. The pick seems unerring, as it drives effortlessly through the hard green scales directly into the sahaugin's heart, killing it instantly. Tor also manages to finish off his opponent, smashing it into sandy oblivion.

Seeing their comrades cut down, the two remaining sahaugin behind the canoe turn and flee, heading around behind the square hut. Elsewhere on the beach, numerous sahaugin reload.

Back in the cave, Nurlan and Rinaldo see two sahaugins emerge from the round hut, only 30 feet away. Opening fire, Rinaldo sinks his bolt into the creature's stomach. Nurlan's bolt imbeds in the wooden wall of the hut.

Tenebrynn also hits. The pick seems unerring, as it drives effortlessly through the hard green scales directly into the sahaugin's heart, killing it instantly.

Charlarn whistles. "Jezibel wasn't lying about that pick. It must be very powerful."

Back in the cave, Nurlan and Rinaldo see two sahaugins emerge from the round hut, only 30 feet away.

Not wanting to get cut off from the cave, Charlarn charges S27. He applies his +1 Dodge bonus to AC against S27 (Atk +5; Dmg 1d8+1; AC 15, 16 against S27). If the catapult blocks his charge, he'll move toward S27 and attack normally (Atk +3; Dmg 1d8+1; AC 17, 18 against S27).
